One would wonder, except that Killifer also withdrew today.

Makes me think there are some democrats getting earfuls from the folks back home. And they’re putting that word out to Ding Dong.

Good. The American people weren’t buying this the second-time around. The media were reading the tea leaves, also. Glad Daschle got the message.

I didn't source this but I believe the IRS claims 100's of billions go uncollected.

Here we have an administration's few appointees among whom are a certain percentage of tax scofflaws.

This should help the IRS narrow the search.. wot?

One of the scofflaws is the big boss at the IRS?

Never mind.

My guess is it's something REALLY bad....What could it be??

From reading background stories in the NYT and WSJ, I conclude that the real problem is with Tiny Tommy's sugar daddy, Hindery, the one how gave him the limo.

Dude spread a bunch of simolions around so he could be a big RAT wheel. Hindery wanted to be Commerce Secretary or at least Trade Rep. Problem is he is too far left, even for the RATs, and probably more importantly, he backed the wrong horse in a number of races (New York mayor race, notably) and pissed the A list RATs off.

So to get back at Hindery, Dash-hole was thrown under the bus. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Is anyone keeping a list of all the tax reprobates? I admit I haven't been keeping a close eye on it, but here's what I've come up with from memory ...

Caroline Kennedy
Nancy Killefer
Tim Geithner
Tom Daschle

I'm not certain, but I detect a pattern here ... a democratic pattern.

Below is a comment that appeared below the NYT editorial asking Daschle to step aside. This comment, BTW, received the most “recommendations” from other readers:

“This is just disgraceful. President Obama, as a 19-year old student who campaigned for you, this is a true letdown.

Why should Tom Daschle, who has extensive ties to the health care industry and can’t pay his taxes, be appointed to such an important position? (Not to mention Mr. Geithner, who shouldn’t have been brought in either.)

Why can’t the American people have a government that at least admits its errors and moves in the right direction? Most people would be fined heavily or thrown in jail for the “honest mistakes” these two idiots made.

There has to be other qualified people out there - if not, then we’re already done for.

The country voted for change - you’re bringing the same with these two.

— Steven Springer, Parma Heights, Ohio”

There were many other comments from other like-minded incredibly naive people who actually think/thought that Obama was going to bring “change we could believe in”.

If it weren’t so pathetic it would be funny.

Tom Daschele has been selfish (Obama's definition). Tom didn't pay his fair share. Why wouldn't Tom Daschele want to pay his fair share? Oh, that's right, only Republicans and those who actually work for their money should pay taxes.

I am so glad Daschele decided to withdraw. I can't stand soft-voice rhetoric bull-crap he spews out. Good riddance Daschele!

Thank goodness!!!

I am of course relieved for the nation that this sanctimonious swindler will not be using his contacts and connections to destroy our health care system.

On a personal note, though, seeing half of the Gephardt/Daschle socialist corruption tag team on the tube again was even more frightening. Eight years of little Tommy would have been unendurable.

Wishin’ and Hopin’
Ani DiFranco

Wishin’, and hopin’, and thinkin’, and prayin’,
Planning and dreamin’ each night of his charms.
That won’t get you into his arms

So if your’re looking for love you can share
All you gotta to is hold him, and kiss him, and love him,
And show him that you care.

Show him that you care, just for him.
Do the things that he likes to do.
Wear your hair just for him, ‘cause,
You won’t get him, thinkin’ and a prayin’,
Wishin’ and hopin’.

‘Cause wishin’, and hopin’, and thinkin’, and prayin’,
Planning and dreamin’ his kisses will start.
That won’t get you into his heart!

So if you’re thinking how great true love is
All you gotta to is hold him, and kiss him, and squeeze him, and love him.
Yeah, just do it!
And after you do, you will be his.

You gotta show him that you care just for him.
Do the things that he likes to do.
Wear your hair just for him, ‘cause,
You won’t get him, thinkin’ and a prayin’,
Wishin’ and a hopin’.

‘Cause wishin’, and hopin’, and thinkin’, and prayin’,
Planning and dreamin’ his kisses will start.
That won’t get you into his heart!

So if you’re thinking how great true love is!

All you gotta to is hold him, and kiss him, and squeeze him, and love him.
Yeah, just do it!
And after you do, you will be his.

You will be his.

You will be his!
